Buil-Legaz, Lucía; Suárez-Coalla, Paz; Santamarina-Rabanal, Liliana; Martínez-García, Cristina; Rodríguez-Ferreiro, Javier; Cuetos, Fernando – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Recent research has stated that early oral language acquisition difficulties are related to reading and writing difficulties. Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) experience difficulties with several dimensions of language. In this study we focus on the specific difficulties of children with DLD in spelling. We examine the impact of…

Broc, Lucie; Joye, Nelly; Dockrell, Julie E.; Olive, Thierry – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: This scoping review aims to identify and analyze the nature of the spelling errors produced by children with developmental language disorder (DLD) across different orthographies. Building on a previous meta-analysis identifying the extent of the spelling difficulties of children with DLD, the review extends our understanding of the nature…

Godin, Marie-Pier; Berthiaume, Rachel; Daigle, Daniel – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) demonstrate general spelling difficulties. This study investigated accuracy on and sensitivity to silent letters in spelling in children with and without DLD. Investigating silent-letter production provides a window into orthographic and morphological knowledge and enhances understanding…

Godin, Marie-Pier; Gagné, Andréanne; Chapleau, Nathalie – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2018
The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine spelling acquisition in French children with developmental language disorder (DLD) over a school year. Through a fine-grained spelling error analysis, we investigated whether spelling profiles could be established in the DLD population. This study comprised three groups: a typically developing (TD)…

Dockrell, Julie E.; Connelly, Vincent – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
Children with specific language impairments (SLI) have difficulties in producing written text. It was hypothesised that the constraints on writing in children with SLI were similar to typically developing younger children with the same level of vocabulary knowledge. Twenty-three children with SLI (aged 10:5) were matched with 23 children for…

Mackie, Clare J.; Dockrell, Julie; Lindsay, Geoff – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
In this study, we performed a fine grained analysis of writing by children with a specific language impairment (SLI) and examined the contribution of oral language, phonological short-term memory (STM), nonverbal ability, and word reading to three writing constructs (productivity, complexity and accuracy). Forty-six children with SLI were compared…

Tattersall, Patricia J. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The central purpose of this three-paper dissertation was to explore the ability of school-age children with and without language-learning disabilities (LLD) to apply sound/word level structure knowledge when performing speaking, spelling, and reading tasks. Data came from a larger investigation that used stratified sampling to create two ability…

Jones, Angela C.; Folk, Jocelyn R.; Rapp, Brenda – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
A central issue in the study of reading and spelling has been to understand how the consistency or frequency of letter-sound relationships affects written language processing. We present, for the first time, evidence that the sound-spelling frequency of "subgraphemic" elements of words (letters within digraphs) contributes to the…
